Oil has had Engine flush through it. Dropped the oil and put Diesel grade oil through for a different type of clean (Basically 15w40 oil with Detergents in it). If this comes out good then the next oil will be Royal Purple.

:)

If Anyone wondered how much longer the ass is in a 4 door then this will give you an idea with the Exhausts swapped.

Buying some Iridium plugs today. Next plans will hopefully be some new bushes,new air filter and maybe a brand new Bosch Z32 AFM because im sick of 17 yr old AFMs acting like 17 YR old AFMs.

I'm mirin, I'll have a look for the issue of HPI and let ya know what number R33-R it was.

Maybe this is the one you are thinking of? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/229099-1993-r33r-impul-sedan/

Nope, was definitely gunmetal. I've had a look but can't find the issue :/

Slowly getting there. Have Decided (mostly) that i will be putting the Impul rims back on and striving towards restoring this car to its Original Visual Quality

As ive decided this just isn't a car that should be tampered with too much, seeing as its somewhat rare and has its own style from factory.

Didn't end up getting Iridiums(Thought that was what we were getting but mate picked these up).

Had spare injectors from my previous RB25DET (f**ked Piston 6) in my previous Blue Skyline.

so sent them in for Reconditioning and Flow test(2 were a bit low initially but all tip top now :) ).

So just had to swap injectors there and then. Too easy :)

Gearbox oil was low but still decent oil. has a cocktail of whatever it had,Some Penrite 75 and a fair bit of DX3.

Falls under the category of "Thats what it gets" for now. Plan to buy some Smurfs Blood soon.

Havent started car yet as we finished after midnight but will see how it goes soon.

Next up is New 255s for the Impul Rears and Possibly some Diff oil.

Done Deal.

So yeah car was having dramas with hitting boost. Changed all 3 ECU/Fuel pump Relays and that fixed it a lot. Now it just needs a proper tune.

Tune is Scheduled for Saturday 14th and i cant wait!

First Registered Voyage :P

First Port of Call :D

Have been inspired to possibly try and source a roof spoiler further down the track.

I also legally get to drive around with one number plate on the rear for at least 2 weeks as i put in an order for my plates to be reprinted. :D

Happy New Year,Peace.

Installed New HKS pod filter using a metal adapter bought from Autobarn specifically labelled to be for R33 2.5L.

But no, Didnt fit as planned lol. Got it on on an angle with only 2 bolts then used some washers with the other bolts to hold the other 2 sides down.

Pretty sure a headlight restoration is on the cards hopefully very soon :)

Did a bit of a height check. Not very happy as previously stated with my ride height for legal purposes but oh well for now i guess.

So yeah some Fuel pump issues arose where fuel would just cut out at random moments a few times each trip

and there was also a problem where the revs would drop below now idle level,recover and then stall..

Installed my spare fuel pump from my first 4 door today which seems to have fixed the intermittent fuel problem but the stalling has happened once or twice on a trip but definitely running better and sounding better :)

Tune is prospected for next Saturday and i cant wait as im driving around on no boost :(

1 positive is that i can do much lower speeds in higher gears than in my previous stock skylines so its not so bad just cruisin around off boost. 30 in second at 2100rpm sounds beautiful :P

201201072358411200x9001325950707.png

looking good buddy. i know a guy putting a 26/30 into a R32 r Impul four door any chance you going 25/30?

Cheers mate :D

Theres a chance in the far distant future but it wont have a 25 head ;)

hey mate, just wondering about the forward facing planum, did it come with it or did you get that after?

Came with the car when i bought it. Not an impul Item but. Just a Greddy Copy.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
